NewTek’s TriCaster 450 series is aimed at making HD production available to a wider number of live video producers with a compact, cost-effective system. TriCaster 450 Extreme gains Newtek’s IsoCorder multi-track, multi-format video recording technology.

“The TriCaster 450 is a break-through product that takes our live switching technology to a new level,” said Andrew Cross, NewTek CTO. “We have been able to pack a 14-channel switcher with full HD virtual sets, keying, multi-channel recoding, streaming and more into a portable 2RU system.”

NewTek is also showing the TriCaster 450 CS, a hardware control surface for the TriCaster 450 series. TriCaster 450 Extreme is available for €17,995 and TriCaster 450 lists for €14,995. TriCaster 450 CS lists for €3,995.
